I am trying to set-up a static mount point for a USB HD so I can reliably store rsnapshot backups on it. I currently believe I need a static mount point for that to work. Maybe there is a simple way by using /dev/disk/by-id etc. but I haven't found it re automounting
Right now I use udisksctl with the wiki's inotify script to accomplish automounts, but I need to customize the mount point and make it static, i.e., not include the variable "sdd1" prefix when it auto mounts.
The wiki, and google, yield no information on this. Do I really need to switch to udev and autofs like the solution posted here: http://serverfault.com/questions/170282 … usb-drives
Please let me know if this should be in the newbie's corner and I'll relocate it. Thanks!

Any reason an fstab entry is not acceptable is in your case?

Ok, fstab is set up and yes works for 95% of my usage. Thank you for pointing me back to it after I was looking at a bunch of newer hot swap mounting options.
What would be nice then is if udisksctl would seek to use mount points specified in fstab before falling back to it's default way of labelling. I haven't yet tested if it does this. I'm guessing not, but I'll post if I can get it to
